3. water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface

9. the sum of evaporation and plant transpiration from the Earth's land and ocean surface to the atmosphere
10. the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor
11. the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water

1. large amounts of water are stored in the ground
2. water pollution
5. water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail
6. the continuous cycle in which water changes from water vapor in the atmosphere to liquid water through condensation and precipitation and then back to water vapor
7. water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams
